I think you should ask the Institue
If they will accept a notarized affidavit that swears the copy is a true and accurate copy of the original. Attach the copy to the affidavit.

Please try this question again and give a few facts. Was your license suspended? Did you go to court? Can you show that your license was not suspended? Did you have valid insurance when you were stopped? Please ask again and tell EXACTLY what happened. Just the facts.

Just the fact that it is public doesn't mean it can be recorded (i.e. court proceedings in many instance are not allowed to be recorded).
In certain locales privacy laws have been implemented whereby you cannot record someone without their consent and that also would apply to legislators and their staff.
If you want detailed research, advising, and consultation I'm happy to assist, but there of course would be a fee involved.

Q: Can I file a petition to get one of the properties involved if the administrator neglected to pay taxes for 4 yrs
Scott C. Stockwell's answer
You describe an estate in which the administrator has (a) failed to pay taxes and caused a property to be at risk for loss; (b) converted estate property for personal use; (c) lost another property to repossession due to unpaid obligations; and (d) failed to conclude an estate in a four-year period.

Brent T. Geers' answer
I don't see why not. I'm unaware of any fire chief being an elected position, and so there is no conflict by holding two different elected positions. More importantly, in most cases, the school district (and its board) is a separate and distinct entity from the local government. It's really no different from any other city employee being elected to the school board. The answer would be different, of course, if a school district employee were to be elected to the school board - a clear conflict.

You need to file a claim with the California franchise tax board to receive your money back.

Each county has its own rules, for time lapse between jury duty. Call the Court's Jury Clerk, and have this checked, against their records. The number will be on the notice. This is the only way to know, other than showing up when directed.

Yes. Especially angiosarcoma of the liver. Contact a firm that handles occupational disease claims. On the "no medical insurance " he should apply for social security disability--they have a fast track for people with cancer diagnoses; should apply for medical assistance. If the property is in his name VA can't take it for mom's treatment.
All the best to him.
